Stephen Colbert rips apart GOP’s anti-refugee stance by quoting Bible

Stephen Colbert isn't pleased with the wall of Republicans who
are against accepting Syrian refugees into the United States and
the recent passing of a bill that calls for stricter vetting of
refugees from Iraq and Syria.

The "Late Show" host said it was the only thing he wanted to talk
about post-Paris attacks.

"The question to let Syrian refugees into this country has become
the new political issue, completely overshadowing the old
political issue: whether to let Mexicans into this country," he
said.

He brought up the lunacy of Donald Trump's joke that Syrian
refugees would be very angry about going from their 130-degree
heat to Minnesota's 30-degree cold. "These people are going to be
very, very unhappy," the real-estate mogul said.

To which Colbert responded, "Yeah, it's a tough call for the
refugees. Do I want to stay in a war zone where my family faces
almost certain death? Or do I want to go somewhere where I have
to put a jacket on before going to the mall?"

He then referred to President Barack Obama's statements in Manila
in which he said that the Republicans who oppose the refugees
seem afraid of widows and young kids. "First they were
worried about the press being too tough on them during debates,
now they're worried about three-year-old orphans," Obama said.

Then, Colbert joked, "Why shouldn't we be afraid of
three-year-olds? You think we can't negotiate with terrorists?
Try negotiating with a three-year-old. They play hardball."

The plot thickens for Colbert after Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush
suggested that Christian refugees don't pose any danger. Later,
Bush would have a hard time explaining what keeps Muslims from
lying that they're Christians. "I think you can prove it," he
said without further explanation.

Colbert finished his point by quoting the Bible, particularly
the line, "I was a stranger and you welcomed
me in." "If they don't say 'welcome me in,' they are either a
terrorist, or they are running for president," he said.
